They're just as affectionate." You may wonder about this, but to see his pet Cockateel on his shoulder, head bent down and Phil rubbing him behind the neck, and there's no mistaking it. Phil started his business, Phil's Pet Birds and Supplies, last June.

Last weck he started supplying fish sup- plies and he said he would like to get a supply of tropical fish eventu- ally. Phil mentioned the biggest problem with his business at the moment is to get people to come into his shop.
